Great opening game, with two solid teams. Viral Kohli was commenting today that he thinks games might be quite tight as the first round progresses but I fully expect England to go all out for a signature victory to set the tone.

Their challenge will be a very high-performing SAF bowling unit with strength at bat as well. Should be a cracker.

As for the tournament itself, clearly England, South Africa, India and Australia are the favourites for the semifinals. I expect Pakistan to disrupt things by showing up against one of the top four but not necessarily dominating the second-tier teams. New Zealand seem to be the solid outsider bet, good individual players permeating the team and a good team spirit. Iíve grown to really like the Windies over the last couple of years, they have some outstanding young talent. And Afghanistan will pull out a surprise or two, I suspect. They play with a lot of passion and no small amount of skill.

So, overall, I think the winner will be England or Australia. A lot depends for Australia on th form of Smith and Warner and how they integrate into the side. If it works they have th batting and bowling to compete. I noticed England have a tricky conclusion to the group stage - after SAF they play the lower-rated teams and finish off with Australia, India and NZ. Could end up being interesting!

I would love to hear anyone elseís predictions for the winners or semifinalists and look forward to what should be a great tournament and hopefully some great commentary on here.

The Scottish leg will feature 10 games at The Grange in Edinburgh from 6th to 12th of September with start times of 1030 or 1430. Edinburgh v Glasgow is Friday the 6th at 1030 which strikes me as a major mis-step but there you go.

I caught the highlights of NZ vs Bangladesh and it was a comfortable if not unexpected win for the home side. Bangladesh are pretty decent but not in the same class and not unlike most sides, play better at home.

I had a quick look at the CWC odds and NZ are a tempting 10-1 given they are the pick of the outsiders and capable of beating anyone on their day. South Africa were an equally tempting 8-1 given they are expected to go through to the semi-finals and then itís anyoneís game. A lot depends on how Australia fare and to what extent the returning batsmen feature and how they integrate with the team.

Anyway, enough CWC chat for now, looking forward to the Windies-England series, with the 50-over specialists arriving from England and the behemoth that is Chris Gayle returning for the Windies.

Sun, 03 Feb 2019 21:04:52 GMTAnyone watching the golf now.

He's got a five stroke lead. He misses the green with his second shot and has what looks a simple chip onto the green. But over hits it and the ball runs over the green past the bunker into the water. He takes a penalty drop and has to place the ball as it's impossible to get the ball to stop running back into the water. As he goes up onto the green the ball moves again and it runs back into the water. So a double penalty drop.

Very unlucky and costly for Fowler.

Wed, 23 Jan 2019 17:33:30 GMTDecent start by the Windies, currently 123-1 pushing on for halfway through the first day.

A quickfire 44 from debutant John Campbell was a good entrance into Test cricket. The Windies now have Braithwaite and Hope at bat. I really like Shai Hope, he's a great young batsman with huge potential.

The bowling should be interesting. The Windies seem to have gone with four pacemen while England have opted for two spinners and of their quicks only Stokes can be argued to be seriously fast, though I can understand why England went with the slower Curran on the basis that he offers so much with the bat.

Thu, 06 Dec 2018 17:36:47 GMTStunning start to day one of the First Test in Adelaide, with Australia reducing India to 56-4 (or rather, 4-56 since it's on Australian soil :greengrin) by lunch.

Those wickets were spread across all three Aussie quicks including the prize wicket of Kohli.

All credit to Pujara though, who came in at first wicket down, steadied the ship and patiently compiled a century before being run out for 123.

India closed on 9-250 and one would imagine it won't take too long before the Australians are batting, which should prove interesting - the batting line-up was far from a straightforward decision prior to the game and the majority of the top six can't claim to be automatic picks at this stage.
